Silvermine 11P prototype - Technical basis for which the carbon fibre body is designed.
Silvermine 11P prototype - Technical basis for which the carbon fibre body is designed.
Ideas and concepts - Sketches for first main idea. The idea is that the car exists of three visually seperated parts: two opposing outer parts and a single middle part. Devided by two distinct character lines.
Ideas and concepts - Sketches for second main idea. The idea is that the car is built up of smooth and bulging patches, joined by a sharp character line running from the front grille up to behind the two bulges. The same shape is inverted on the back side to communicate a Yin/Yang type of balance in the shape.
Ideas and concepts - Shape development and engineering solutions made into an attractive and feasible starting point for the 3d CAD model.
3d model - Class A 3D CAD model for the exterior of the Silvermine 11P prototype sportscar.
